Party Animal PuppetsJoin Nicholas and his Party Animals in the Kids Zone! Nicholas will be providing demonstrations and teachings throughout the day, on how to get the most out of your Party Animal Puppet!

The Original Party Animal puppets are truly a one of a kind design, each one hand-crafted at our workshop, here in Cobb, California. We use safe non-toxic materials, (acrylic long pile and plush fur) stuffed with standard batting, and embellished with pom-poms for the eyes, nose and tail. Finally, we construct a pinewood board tied to four lengths of standard fishing line, which in turn connect to the four control points of the Marionette; the two feet, the head and the tail. The materials are so light, and the design so perfectly balanced, that young children and adults alike can create an amazing dancing performance in no time at all!
